Welcome to My Family Tree!

I began building my Family Tree in 1972. Of my
four grandparents, three are French-Canadian (FC) and one is German.
Because of the availability of records in Quebec, Canada, I have been
able to trace all of my FC ancestral lines back to the original
immigrants to Quebec. I have not been so fortunate with my German
ancestral lines, as the Catholic Church records in the German parishes
have not been well-preserved. Consequently, my Family History is
predominantly FC.

My Family Tree also includes lots of cousins.
After tracing all of my FC ancestors back to their first immigrants to
Quebec, I decided to trace their posterity down through the generations.
This has greatly expanded my Family to over 62,000 individuals, making
it an exceptional research tool to find your FC ancestors.

I am still actively working on this project, and hope
to make an update to Marlene's Family at least monthly. I've
targeted the first Sunday of each month to make the updates.
